Job tasks I do these days

A list of all the types of things I am doing in my day job, and in my own time.

• CI/CD
  • gitlab pipelines
  • GitLab API access to cross system boundaries with runners in different tenancies (no access outside certain operations)
  • Pipeline maintenance
• Kubernetes
  • Building applications for kubernetes
    • Using non-greedy operations because scaling horizontally is better
  • Administering production and staging clusters
  • Administering user access and control for the team
  • Fixing bad deployments and broken helm charts
  • Attempting to transition the environment over to ArgoCD (we have little oversight when things drift)
  • Stood up and introduced k3s to the team
    • we now run k3s locally with verified fakes for our third party API’s
• Bash Scripting
  • I use Bash for so many things and feel like I’m getting decent at it
• Python
  • I code review major deployments
  • I write python most days using Rabbit and websocket backends
• Golang
  • Fairly competent having written a large code base entirely in it
  • Reach for it instead of python for CLI or automations which bash isn’t suitable for
  • Experienced somewhat in writing gRPC code for Go
